I just felt like putting this picture up.

I’m thinking he was aptly named. Yep. That’s an Apollo, all right.

Sorry, ladies, he’s took. But that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy.

So, do the guys who want me to forward them the Jessica Alba bra-less emails also want me to forward them the Barbra Streisand bra-less emails?

Just askin’.

This is why there will never be a full peace with the Palestinians.

Israel suggests joint control over the Temple Mount complex. The Palestinians then use that to foment more attacks.

The head of the Islamic Movement’s northern branch, Sheikh Ra’ad Salah, said on Saturday that Israel is trying to forcibly divide the Al-Aqsa mosque between Jews and Muslims, Israel Radio reported.

The report also quoted Salah as saying that anyone trying to resist this effort by Israel risks being arrested or even killed “in cold blood.”

He referenced as an example Ahmed Hatib, who stole a gun from a guard last week in Jerusalem’s Old City, and was killed in an ensuing gunfight with another guard.

And then they return to the fiction that Jerusalem has Islamic roots, and no Jewish connection. Forget that it’s the city of the Jews. No, that’s all lies. King David? Muslim. King Solomon? Muslim. That Jesus guy? Another Muslim. Not Jews. All Muslims.

Speaking at a convention in East Jerusalem, Salah also said that the Israeli establishment is systematically attempting to Judaize the city, and disconnect it from its Palestinian surroundings in order to easily transfer its Arab population.

The myth of transfer now, too. So what should we do, then?

Salah said, according to the radio report, that Israel’s goal is to turn Jerusalem into a “nonnegotiable” issue, and called on Arabs to protect the mosque and not to surrender.

I don’t see how this will ever change. Generations of Muslims have been raised to hate Israel and Jews, and have grown up on lie that Jerusalem was a Muslim city. And especially the lie that their mosques are not on our holiest site.

The Islamicization of Israel continues apace.

Every day, the IDF and civilians are attacked by Palestinians in the West Bank.

Every day.

IDF troops which operated in the outskirts of Nablus identified and shot an armed Palestinian, Israel Radio reported on Saturday.

An explosive device was thrown at the force earlier, but no damage or wounded have been reported.

Every day.

Two Palestinians were shot and killed on Friday during one of two gunfights which had ensued between IDF troops and Palestinian gunmen near the West Bank city of Jenin, local residents and doctors said.

The first exchange of fire broke out after soldiers entered the village of Kafr Dan, the residents said. Two Palestinians were killed; an Islamic Jihad gunman and one a civilian, doctors said. Several others were wounded.

The army said troops operating in the village against terror infrastructure identified a group of gunmen and shot toward them, hitting them.

Later Friday night, Palestinians opened fire at an IDF jeep in Kabatiya.

Meanwhile, at a checkpoint south of Nablus an explosive device was thrown at soldiers.

Every. Single. Day.

Palestinians opened fire at an IDF jeep in Kabatiya near Jenin on Friday night.

How, exactly, is this going to stop after the PA takes over the West Bank? How is it that Olmert can continue to declare amnesties on these murderers and manage to sleep at night?

A book review in the Jerusalem Post contains this little bit of horror from the death camps:

In the early years of the war, the jaded German tourist could give himself an unusual treat: a visit to the graveyard of the Warsaw Ghetto to see for himself how the Final Solution was progressing. And because he could, he did.

“Most of them show no sympathy at all for the Jews,” noted a ghetto diarist in 1941. “On the contrary, some of them maintain that the mortality among the Jews is too low. Others take all kinds of photographs. The shed where dozens of corpses lie during the day awaiting burial at night is particularly popular.”

Welcome to Disneyland, Nazi style.

They knew.

Friedlander quotes copiously from letters written by soldiers who witnessed the murders and either approved of them or found nothing exceptional about them. Even civilians far from the death camps had a good idea of what was going on.

They knew.

I know, I’m going for the cheap insult, but I’m sorry, this one’s a bit too funny to pass up. Besides, Arkansas has been made fun of since Mark Twain was writing, at least.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - A law passed this year allows Arkansans of any age—even infants—to marry if their parents agree, and the governor may have to call a special session to fix the mistake, lawmakers said Friday.

The legislation was intended to establish 18 as the minimum age to marry but also allow pregnant teenagers to marry with parental consent, bill sponsor Rep. Will Bond said. An extraneous “not” in the bill, however, allows anyone who is not pregnant to marry at any age if the parents allow it.

“It’s clearly not the intent to allow 10-year-olds or 11-year-olds to get married,” Bond said. “The legislation was screwed up.”

The bill reads: “In order for a person who is younger than eighteen (18) years of age and who is not pregnant to obtain a marriage license, the person must provide the county clerk with evidence of parental consent to the marriage.”

Insert obligatory cousin joke here.

Some days, it takes everything you have just to guard your box.
